Pretty f**ked up framing here, @washingtonpost.com . You’re laying the responsibility for the deterioration of the Ukraine/U.S. relationship at the wrong feet. #Trump needs to mend things. Trump broke them when he decided to suck up to a murderous dictator who’s responsible for many deaths.

Working families need Washington to bring down costs—on housing, health care, child care, groceries, you name it. They don’t need Donald Trump and Elon Musk to cut funding for cancer research, fire air traffic controllers, or gut disaster recovery.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Cutting #VA funding but $200 million for an ad campaign to thank Trump. JFC. www.semafor.com/article/02/1...

Morning Bluesky. Even the French Far Right are appalled by the rise of the Nazis in America.

Repost if you have tinnitus.

This is what will wake up MAGA. When the family vacay gets screwed up.

It’s just a coincidence, right? That the color of “Raisin” #Caine ‘s skin is quite a few shades lighter than the outgoing, higher-ranked Joint Chief? Purely accidental. Nothing to see here, move along #Resist2025 wapo.st/4kpm6JV

The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.

The Republican Tax Scam could take a machete to slash 230 billion from SNAP and 880 billion from Medicaid. #DontCutMyMedicaid

I wondered what he might do to #HBCUs. Here’s the start. www.wxii12.com/article/usda...

Without legal permission. Doesn't this constitute that Constitutional crisis we keep hearing about? Where in Congress? Where is the Senate? Have everyone with a brain and a backbone left our government?

This is a nightmare. Please wake me up. I can't believe what is happening to my country, to our democracy (well, past tense), and it seems as if no one is saying a word.

Holy mf'ing shit. This is incredible. I'm hearing it on repeat as I write this and the open corruption, the tough guy threats, the "we are the federal law" (l'etat, c'est moi) is... he has gone complete insane.

This is what we need. Enough Americans--actual, living and breathing Americans, not made-up numbers of us--turning up, showing up, standing up to the #DOGEbros, #ElonMusk and #Trump. To autocracy. To monarchy. To fascism.

#BlackHistoryMonth will not be silenced.

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.
